What this Tumblr downloader saves

Videos as MP4

Videos uploaded to Tumblr, in the resolution Tumblr stores, with the resolution shown next to the button.

GIFs in full size

Animated GIFs are saved as real GIF files in the largest size Tumblr offers, not as a screenshot.

Photo sets as ZIP

Posts with several photos or GIFs can be saved in one go. The ZIP is built on your own device.

Old and new links

Both tumblr.com/blog/post and blog.tumblr.com/post links are understood.

Finding the link to a Tumblr post

PixHold needs the link to one post, not to a blog or a tag page.

  • In the Tumblr app: tap the share icon (the paper plane) under the post, then Copy link.
  • In a browser: click the date or the “…” menu of the post and choose Copy link, or open the post and copy the address bar. It looks like tumblr.com/blogname/123456789.

Older links of the form blogname.tumblr.com/post/123456789 work as well; PixHold looks the post up under its current address.

Tumblr GIF downloader

Tumblr is full of GIF sets. Paste the post link and each GIF appears as a thumbnail. Tap one to save that GIF, or press Download all photos (ZIP) to keep the whole set in order. The files are the original GIFs, so they stay animated.

What will not work

  • Videos embedded from YouTube, Vimeo or other sites. They are not Tumblr files.
  • Blogs that are hidden from the public web or need a login.
  • Links to a whole blog, a search or a tag. Open a single post first.

Creator rights

Art, GIFs and videos on Tumblr belong to the people who made them. Use downloads for personal viewing and reference, credit the creator, and ask before you re-post. PixHold is not affiliated with Tumblr or Automattic. Rights holders can reach us through the DMCA page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download a video from Tumblr?

Open the post on Tumblr, tap the share icon and choose Copy link, or copy the address of the post in your browser. Paste it into PixHold and press Download. The video is saved as an MP4 file.

Can I download Tumblr GIFs and photos too?

Yes. PixHold lists every GIF and photo in the post in its largest available size. Save them one at a time, or use the ZIP button to get all of them at once.

Which Tumblr links work?

Links to a single post: tumblr.com/blogname/123456789 as well as the older blogname.tumblr.com/post/123456789 form. Links to a whole blog, a tag or the dashboard are not single posts and will not work.

Why does PixHold say the post has no video?

The video in that post is embedded from another site, such as YouTube or Vimeo, rather than uploaded to Tumblr. Only videos hosted by Tumblr itself can be saved.

Does it work with reblogs?

Yes. When a post is a reblog, PixHold also picks up the video, GIFs and photos of the original post it carries.

Can I download from private or login-only blogs?

No. PixHold sees what a signed-out visitor sees. Blogs hidden from the public web, and posts that need a login to view, cannot be downloaded.

Is the quality reduced?

No. You get the file exactly as Tumblr stores it. PixHold does not convert or compress anything.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and nothing to install. Each visitor can look up 30 links per day.
